A familiar face is returning to the University of West Florida football team to fill a vacancy left on the coaching staff.
The Argos announced Friday that Alvance Robinson will be UWF’s new offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach. The job opened up after Ron Dickerson Jr. left to become the head coach at Division II Benedict College, where he also took three assistant coaches from the Argos with him – Mike Beaudry, Shea Campbell and Jarrod Sanders.
